Mission

The Interfaith Center of New York seeks to make New York City and the world safe for religious difference by increasing respect and mutual understanding among people of different faith, ethnic, and cultural traditions and by fostering cooperation among religious communities and civic organizations to solve common social problems.  Read more about our methodology and history.

Also of interest to religious leaders and New Yorkers interested in interfaith dialogue and social justice: our monthly bulletin about programs and events in the New York Area.  We welcome visitors to join our email list for announcements about our activities.
